Be Excellent To Each Other

Non-existent.

It only needs to login and handshake with the server I think, if I play in Solo mode I'm pretty sure it doesn't do much in the way of data transfer in game.

Putting it in the small cottage would solve that problem.

It has 4G now, allegedly. "Outdoor only" though. Solved by leaving a phone in a window running a hotspot.

By my calculation, there's plenty of elbow room.

There are seven couples going, and seven rooms with double beds, so each couple gets a double bed.

Cras and Grim... seem to actually like having a bro-lovefest, so they presumably get their usual twin room.

That leaves six twin rooms, to go between eight singletons. So four people will need to bunk up.

(This is assuming Other Dave isn't coming.)

What time are people arriving from on Friday?

I daresay I will be dropped off at about two-ish. MrsA will probably hang about for a while before going to Buxton.

She might return on the Saturday nighost but would have to bring Shitpants who, hopefully, would just go to sleep on arrival somewheremail within monitor range or curio can deal with her. I dunno yet but we are considering it (I am uneasy as it interferes with boozing and mafia).

We would leave Sunday after lunch due to having a hole in the roof of Northern Towers, which, whole is in keeping with local character (treating is ppular), needs fixing.

We can be there for 12 or when ever we can have the keys. Need to leave at a reasonable time in the Monday morning though.

People with kids (i.e. Mali/MrsA and Curio/Mogwai) presumably want to have rooms in the smaller cottage, as that's somewhat less noisy?

"Presumably" nothing. If someone else is in that room, we're going to sleep in it anyway.

Arrive around 3ish on Friday I expect, leave Sunday morning.

We'll be there 2.30-3pm. Awesome that there's enough double beds to go around, although I suppose that does mean Jem will have to put up with my alcohol-induced wind from close-up rather than across the room.

//edit: and we'll be leaving Sunday lunchtime/early afternoon I expect.

Many of the double bedrooms also have a single bed she can banish you to

Will check. It is dependent on my FiL stepping up and changing some nappies which he has said he woUld do. If he does, then hurrah! No child. If he doesn't, I suppose it depends on the range of the monitor. I will discuss with MrsA later but I don'the want to inconvenience anyone.

That sounds like a challenge.

I think I'm a bit too old for it to count as a 'fest' these days.

Challenge/invitation, delete as appropriate.

You say that like I'm not already used to your wind.

If it helps, I'm happy to help with any baby holding duties. I only drop them occasionally.

Ta.

bEAR IN MIND THAT gAZCHAP IS TOO TALL TO USE THE SEX SWING, SO SHE'LL HAVE TO PAIR UP WITH ONE OF HER ALTERNATIVES.

OMG capslock. Can't be arsed to re-type

Boom! I'm in.

Nope.

I have reserved a room in the main cottage; the one where you go up the stairs, then all the way round to the back, so you're kinda over the snooker room. It has a double and a single bed, and the monitor signal reaches from there to the living room. I'm sure you can chuck yours in the same room.

Yeah - finding this out was fun the year before last! Took weeks before I could bend my ankle properly again.

As ever, £100 to the ABF and I'll wear my uniform for the Saturday.

Is Zeppo not coming then?

I am making cold brew coffee for this.

I'm going to bring 'Pandemic'. Love that game but have yet to beat it.

One shot per tasteless ebola joke.

Ooh, I've never played that. I'd live a game sometime over the weekend Kern.

In my infinite wisdom I packed Firefly away for moving house, and now I have no idea where it is.

TWO MORE SLEEPS

Still can't believe we're up to the fifth Cottage already.

FIVE MORE YEARS, FIVE MORE YEARS

Can't wait to meet Bamba. After his no-show last year he promised he'd be there this year.

I assume Doccy G counted you as one of the couples needing a double bed.

Almost certainly 100% BACK IN, FUCKERS!

Whoop!!!

How is Mrs Grim... Doing?

Good, for more than one reason! Hope the mrs is feeling better.

She's still poorly; he just bought a massive stack of ready meals and showed the Grimlet how to work the oven.

Not great, to be honest.

Sorry to hear that dude, hope she's better soon.

Oh dude, send her our best..

Oh. Is there something we could do to bring a smile to her face? I have no idea what. Make her a 'You're awesome' card or something?

I've done a few things to bring a smile to her face in the past.

Yeah, you went back home.
